"The bitingly funny and fierce Gloria is one of the year's best shows...Gloria is an adrenaline rush of a show, but it also makes you think. Let's just say it hits the bull's-eye." --Elisabeth Vincentelli, New York Post
"Funny, blistering tragicomedy...along with a delightfully omnipresent, biting wit...You'll be unsettled by Gloria, perhaps even haunted." --Peter Marks, Washington Post
An ambitious group of editorial assistants at a prestigious Manhattan-based literary magazine are each chasing the same dream: a life as successful writers--and to get out of their cubicles before they turn thirty. When a regular day at the office suddenly becomes anything but, the stakes for who will get to tell the career-making story are higher than ever.
